I was just curious about what a wet burger would taste like. And it turns out it's pretty good. I usually avoid red meat in Türkiye because sometimes there's a slight animal aftertaste, haha.

The place is very popular, lots of tourists stop by because it's right at Taksim squere. Yeah, even though it's busy, they're very fast at serving our orders. I really like the service.

I've been seeing videos about this famous wet burger when I was planning my Istanbul trip and most of the time, people are in love with it. So, how good can it be? Well, I was floored when I took my first bite! Indeed, it is moreish and can be eaten quick. I do however, regret ordering the cheese one too. The taste of the cheese was too much for me. Wish I had both original ones instead! Something not to be missed when you're in Taksim.

Kızılkayalar Taksim – A Pleasant Surprise in the Heart of Istanbul Today, I visited Kızılkayalar in Taksim for the first time. I had always avoided restaurants in tourist-heavy areas, assuming the food wouldn’t be authentic. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it with some local friends—the food was genuinely delicious and full of flavor. I sampled several dishes, including their traditional head and foot soup, white beans, and the famous Turkish wet burger. Each item was well-prepared and tasted great. The prices felt a bit high, though I’m unsure whether that’s due to inflation or simply because it’s located in one of Istanbul’s busiest areas—Taksim Square. Despite the crowd, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and we managed to find a place to sit. Overall, I highly recommend visiting this spot, and I’ll definitely return if I’m back in Istanbul.

Tips: • Price: Around 120₺ per “classic” Islak Burger, ~150₺ for fries. • Time: 10–20 minutes (quick stop). • Best time: Late evening/night for the full experience (it’s a popular late snack). • Crowds: Can get busy, but service is usually fast. • Language: Staff generally speak English. We went there to try the famous Islak Burger (“wet burger”), a well-known Istanbul street food specialty. We each took 2 “classic” burgers and shared a portion of fries. Overall, it was good, but a bit overrated in my opinion. It was my first time trying it, and I felt like it could have used a bit more tomato flavor, though I’m definitely not an expert on the subject. That said, the experience was still enjoyable: • Service was fast • Staff spoke English very easily • There were lots of options on the menu Overall, it’s a nice quick stop to try something local, but maybe not something I would go out of my way for again.

We tried its wet burger as It was recommended by our local tour guide. Yummy and it met our taste preference. Better takeaway, as the dine in place is very small and relatively warm. It can be very crowded.
